[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this sounds fake. But there's a special needs forum you might be able to get specific tips for your child's diagnosis as well as dealing with your spouse.
Also you should always defend your child and remind them the issue is your husband not them. Remind them of how proud you are if their accomplishments.  And you may want to mention it to their therapist [/quote]

It sounds extremely on point Asian to me. These are very real dysfunctional Asian family dynamics OP is trying to work through. OP, I strongly suggest a family therapist for you and your child, one who is experienced with these kinds of intense families. Your child unfortunately will pick up on your spouse's feelings. You are not alone tho.[/quote]How many Northern Europeans living in the US do you know? Like that still have their accent? Focus on intellectual excellence is not purely an Asian American trait.

It’s not just Asians whose husbands don’t want to admit their child has a mental health diagnosis or learning disability but it is very much an Asian thing to deny there’s a problem.  We have a large portion of Asian families here and it’s remarkable that the math club is all Asian kids with the exception of 2 or 3 kids.  They all seem to follow one path and if your kid is on a different path it must be lonely.

I have a son with a learning disability and I went to the school meetings and doctor appointments without my husband because he worked so much and I was fine making the decisions.  Just leave your husband out of your son’s care and make decisions that are best for your son.

I feel bad for the Asian kids who have parents that isolate them and their lives revolve around math enrichment classes and violin lessons.  [/quote]
